Adidas Padel Metalbone 3.5
Leave Arrow Hit for Metalbone 3.5 when more power outweighs the source’s padel power / padel advanced bias. Metalbone 3.5 centres on padel power / padel advanced. You give up Arrow Hit spec (shape diamond).
Read review →Better than Arrow Hit
- More power-oriented alternative when Arrow Hit lacks finishing authority
- Metalbone 3.5 advantage: official 2026 Metalbone with Weight & Balance (+0–11.2 g on a 345–360 g base)
- Also stronger on: soft Performance EVA — not HRD+ High Memory
What you give up
- You leave behind Arrow Hit's official diamond Arrow Hit with IBS
- Metalbone 3.5 downside: still a pro diamond; adjustable weights can push it toward 371 g
- Only switch if iBS adjustable balance means published Head Heavy is a starting point, not a fixed lab lock is a real problem — otherwise more power is optional
Who should switch
Move to Metalbone 3.5 if iBS adjustable balance means published Head Heavy is a starting point, not a fixed lab lock is the reason you opened this page and official 2026 Metalbone with Weight & Balance (+0–11.2 g on a 345–360 g base) actually fixes it.
Who should stay with Arrow Hit
Stay with Arrow Hit if iBS adjustable balance means published Head Heavy is a starting point, not a fixed lab lock is not biting; Metalbone 3.5's upside does not cancel still a pro diamond; adjustable weights can push it toward 371 g.
Best for
- The official 2026 Metalbone diamond with 16K aluminised carbon and Soft Performance EVA.
- It when you already attack and want to add or omit the 11.2 g Weight &.
- It when that job shows up most weeks.
